Working Time Regulations and the Military
I hope that I'm not going over old ground here but this seemed the best thread for my query.
I have been tasked with investigating how the Working Time Regulations (the UK regulations designed to comply with the European Working Time Directive) might apply to RAF controllers, with particular reference to night shift workers at H24 units. I would be grateful for any pointers to the military interpretation of the WTR and any advice as to how other units have arranged their rosters to comply with their current interpretation of the regulations. Replies from our civilian counterparts with information about how SRATCOH works (or not!) would be welcome for interest. Strangely, although we are being told to comply with the WTR, SRATCOH has never applied to us on the military side - I don't know whether that has been a good thing or not!
Any help would be appreciated.
